your concern is as some u.s. officials testified before the senate yesterday, that there could be some elements of al qaeda in the opposition. we've gone down this road before. we funded insurgents in afghanistan 20 years ago, they became our enemies, the taliban. >> there's always a risk. no doubt about it. there's always a risk that people like that are going to find their way into there. ultimately, i heard it described as the bar in "star wars," where all these characters come together. from the civilian side of it, the nonmilitary, the political arm of the rebels, seems to be a positive group from what we've seen so far. and the fact that we're engaging them is a good thing. if we're engaged with them, the likelihood of a positive outcome, in terms of who they are and what they want, is a lot higher. >> let's go to the brewing debate over the u.s. deficit and the possible government shutdown. you have a piece in "the wall street journal" saying you're not going to vote to extend the debt limit without seriou
